Modern Aspects of Electrochemistry

Brian E. Conway, Ralph E. White, John O’M. Bockris0306420244, 9780306420245

Integrating both theoretical and applied aspects of electrochemistry, this acclaimed monograph series presents a review of the latest advances in the field. The current volume covers ion and electron transfer across monolayers of organic surfactants, determination of current distributions governed by Laplace’s equation, and three other subjects.
